Hi Sheila
Nice to hear from you, although I think there is a misunderstanding here.
For the benefit of others on this discussion list, I should say that I
guess you see the name 'Ubuntu', and go from there? This is
specifically a technical discussion list relating to a software,
Ubuntu. It is well established and in worldwide use, and is based upon
components which are strongly community based (of programmers,
developers) volunteers, in the true spirit of Ubuntu. The name was
well chosen by the founder of this brand of software, who is South
African. The software is free of charge to get and use, and as far as
possible in a commercial world we have, it comprises open code with as
little as possible kept secretive.
Background: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop

I do occasionally look into Michael Tellinger's  activities, including
his recent political initiatives (Ubuntu Party? in South Africa?) and
I wish him well. I very much hope your publishing venture also go
well. Best regards

Not to mention any publicity is good publicity, so let's not be too harsh ;)

I don't know, "Professor Mike and his Machine" sounds like a great
children's book. :)
